'If only' is the excuse of the loser; 'I can' is the affirmation of the winner.

Real optimism is exposed to the worst but expects the best.

If laser beams can cut through mountains, why should we doubt the power of prayer?

The more we count the blessings we have, the less we crave the luxuries we haven't.

A second-class is a first-class mistake.

Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation; losers, to give in the frustration; winners, to come through with determination.

Real optimism knows the difficulties but believes they can be overcome.
